Return to the captain's quarters.

Opting not to go the same way you came in, you and Gwynevere make your way awkwardly back up the ladder in the nude. Everyone seems to be asleep, however, so you have an easy go all the way back to the deck of the ship. It's quiet up here. Even the wind has calmed, and therefore the sea as well. All members of your party are down in the cabin. With it being so late, you can't wait to get some sleep. And you're pretty exhausted after everything that's happened today, especially at the end. You and Gwyn step towards the entrance to the captain's quarters, until you feel eyes on your back.

You turn to see Vyzia sitting near the front of the ship. Her red eyes glow through the dimness of a night lit only by a sky of stars and a large moon. You can feel her observing you, though she doesn't move or speak. But then she lays back down. It doesn't seem like she really cares.

The two of you look to your clothes torn up on the ground.

Once again, you use more of your mana to cast Mend, to fix your partly ripped shirt, but moreso you repair her dress which is entirely wrecked. Thankfully, it returns them to normal. She slips fair-skinned figure back into its deathly black sleeve, and then throws back her long white hair--still wet from your time below deck. Then one more time, she looks you straight into the eyes and speaks.

"This adventure has had its highs and lows, though I have decided that it was worth having."

"If you think this was chaotic, you should come with us more often," you reply.

"I think I have much to think about, and I do have my own domain to rule. Just do not forget that you hold the shell. Now I am going to wash up and sleep."

"You can sleep here if you want."

"I appreciate the offer, but I believe you have received the gift of my presence enough for this night."

"Immediately back to normal, huh?"

"I do not know what you mean," she says as she turns to the door. She places a hand upon it and softly says, "Good night, Kyle. I hope you sleep well." Then she departs. Whether she's going to the cabin where others are sleeping or elsewhere, you're left in the captain's quarters ready to rest.

Instead of getting dressed, you lay back in the bed unclothed, and though there is no blanket, you find it easy to drift off to sleep.
